Reduced Rates


The action of the Kansas railroads
in reference to fares and freights to
county and district fairs is most liberal.
They seem to appreciate the impor-
tance of these exhibitions to the coun-
try and are willing to encourage them
in a most substantial way. The rate OF
&c per mile was agreed upon for county
fairs and giving one-and-third rate for
all distances less than SO miles or from
all points within the county. The
Rock Island issued an order to carry
all goods and cattle intended for exhib-
ition free of charge both ways to coun-
ty and district fairs and give one rate
for round trip to passengers regardless
of distance. This hberality is wisely
bestowed and in time must prove
profitable investment on the part of the
railroads. Cheap rates always increases
travel and by them many people are
encouraged to visit fairs that would
otherwise remain at home. The coun-
try and its products are advertised and
emigration Encouraged. And with the
filling up of the country the railroad
business is increased both in the freight
and passover travel. With the stimuli
lous of cheap fares and promise of I'M
ususal fine displays of live stock and
grand agricultural products to be seen,
| fairs this fall will be most attractive
and full of interest to all interested in
| agricultural matters. City

slavery was once admitted into the ter
ritOry it would be very hard to uproot
it and on the 18th Of March, 1852,
Rufus King, of Massachusetts,, after
ward of New York, offered resolution
that slavery in the whole western ter
Titory be Immediately prohibited. By
vote of eight states to three this was
committed and favorable report was
made, but it was never acted on.
In September, 1886, Congress again
began to consider the government of the
territory, and the committees of which
Nathan Dane, of Massachusetts,, was
chairman, framed the ordinance of 1887
as it was finally adopted. Article s of
the ordinance provided: There shall
be neither slavery or voluntary Servi-
tude IN the said territory otherwise than
in the punishment of crimes whereof
the party shall have been duly convict
ed, provided always, that any person
escaping into the same from whom
labor or service is lawfully claimed In
any one of the original states, such fu-
gitives may be lawfully reclaimed and
conveyed to the person claiming his or
her labor or service aforesaid 1t
will be seen that this article, while it
prohibited slavery in the territory en-
acted for the territory a fugitive slave
law.
The ordinance established Teliaious
freedom, trial by jury, the benefits of
the writ of habeas corpus, provided
for schools and encouragement of edu-
cation, declared that the states to be
formed of a territory were to remain
forever partsSof the eonfederacy of the
United States that they were never to
interfere with the disposal of the soil
by the United States, provided that the
navigation of the Mississippi and the
st. Lawrence should be free to every
citizen without any tax, impost or
duty therefor and provided further,
that not less than three or more than
| five states should be formed in the ter
ritory.
The most important provision of this
ordinance was the excluding slavery
| from the territory. This at once invit-
ed the best classes of immigrants from
New England, New York, and Penn.
sylania, and probably contributed
more than anything else to the RAPID
settlement of the territory by people
who were thoroughly and fundamental
/ " Americans. It is most appropriate
that the celebration of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the adoption OF
an ordinance of a law so important II
the northwest should be celebrated il

ness better than light, because their
deeds Were evil,


WE notice that Mr.. A. a. Wells. in
his communication giving his reasons
for voting 'sno'' on the city printing
proposition, fails to state that one of
the main incentives to his running for
the Office of councilman was what he
considered a valuable franchise to be
acted upon by the body of which he has
since become member, said franchise
being, it is alleged, in the interests of a
scheme to defeat all efforts to expert
ment for natural gas. Neither does he
explain why he advocated and voted for
a measure-strenuously opposed by
majority of the citizens most
interested allow the storage
of oils and other inf1ammable
and dangerous articles in the center of
population in the Second ward. Yet
the man who voted and used all his in
fiuence as councilman to advocate the
measures above referred to, claims he
would be doing an injustice should he
vote to have the printing done in papers
of general circulation" as required
by law, simply because the city is asked
to pay reasonable price for SO doing,
and advocates giving the printing to a
paper without a circulation, thus yir-
tually suppressing the publication OF
the proceedings, which, possibly would
suit him best. So far as circulation is
concerned, the Whitley opera house
programme or the Presbyterian college
amateur paper would answer all re,
quirements much better than the paper
squealing.

AN APT REPLY.

That was an apt reply of Master
Workman Powderly, In answer to the
assertion that the organization Of the
knights of Labor was breaking up. He
said: "We are breaking up as the plow-
man breaks up the soil for the sowing
of new seed: we are breaking up old
traditions; we are breaking up heredi-
tary rights and planting everywhere
the seed of universal rights.
= Yes. the knights of Labor are
breaking up, and they viii continue
their appointed work of breaking up
until universal rights shall prevail; and
while they may not bring in the mil
lenium they will do their part in the
evolution of moral forces that are
working for the emancipation of the
race
The Denver Tribune, in commenting
on the above, says:
This is true. The organization of
the Knights Of Labor has been bless
ing, not only to the worEngmen alone,
but to all classes of society. It has taught
the American people many valuable
lessons in regard to the true relation
between labor and capital. It may die
when its mission is fully accomplished,
or it may be destroyed by the socialists
and anarchists who are now trying to
break down the influence Of POWderly
and to control the policy of the order.
But whether it shall endure for years to
come, or whether it shall be broken to
pieces by disagreement among its own
members, it has accomplished a great
work in molding public sentiment
which can never be destroyed.
When the order first rose into prom
hence it seemed to many persons to be
a menace to our social institutions. II
was thought to be close kinsman Of
anarchy. But gradually it came to bt
better known, and, under the wise lead
ership of Powderly, it was guided into
the right channels. Then the public
learned to recognize in it not merely q
friend of labor, but also one Of the mOsi
powerful reconcilers of labor and cap
ital.
The danger of the Knights of labor
as an organization is that the social
istic element in its ranks may obtain
control and pervert the order to the in
jury of the country. The socialists an6
the anarchists have crept into it and
they are now endangering its existence
All true friends of labor, all true friends
of capital, all loyal Americans, should
earnestly desire that the order Of the
Knights of Labor may be delivered
| from the destructive friendship OF thu
sOciiistS and anarchists.

WHY THEY LOVE DARRNESs.

No wonder Soden's sheet is opposed
to any action looking to printing of
the full proceedings of the city council
or the county commissioners. A sam
pie of its reasons was furnished few
days ago when it pretended to publish
the city council proceedings and omit

lot, so far as our citizens are concerned

sons for refusing to allow Soden to
store imfiamables, and possibly explo-
sives, in the midst of the most popu-
lous part of the Second ward. If the
publication of the proceedings were
optional, such matters could be
omitted by the official organ-which it
aspired to be-and the rest of our citi-
zens would be kept in ignorance. With
full report of each meeting required
to be printed, there is little chance for
crookedness, even were there the dispo-
sition. A few years ago when Stotler

quence. Even the Scriptures mention

The Ordlnance OrIssz.

In all pol itical campaigns for many
years the ordinance of 1887 has been
more or less referred to. AS the ordi-
hence is an old one-one hundred years
we think it of sufficient Importance
to warrant the following account,
which we find in the Chicago Inter
Ocean:
On the 18th day of July, 1887 just
100 years ago to-day, an ordinance for
the government of the territory of the
United States northwest of the river
Ohio, " was finally adopted by Congress.
This was the organic law under which
the territory west of Pennsylvania, east
of the Mississippi, and north of the
Ohio was organized and the one hum
dredth anniversary of the adoption of
this fundamental law of the territory
out of which were carved the states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and
Wisconsin will be celebrated this even
ing by the members of the National
Educational association now in
Chicago.
The struggle in the United States
Congress which led to the adoption of
this important ordinance is as interest
ing as anything in our political history.
After the territory had been coded to
the United States by Virginia Mr.. JEFF
ferson, as chairman of committee to
1nC OuOJOCO "a OABoAAAAcONOAAS
reported to the Congress plan for the
temporary government of the western
territory. Mr.. JefferSon's report GOV
cred the whole western territory coded
or to be coded, south as well as north
of the Ohio. Seventeen states each
two degrees in length from north to
south, were to be gradually formed
from it. Nine of these were to be east
of the Mississippi and ten west. The
report recommended that the states be
named CheFsoneSus, Sylyania, Assem-
isipir, Metropotamia, Poiypotamia,
Pelisipia, Saratoga, Washington, Mich
igan and Illinois.
One important provision of this re
port submitted by Mr.. Jefferson was
after the year 1900 there should be nei-
ther slavery nor involuntary servitude
in any of the said states other than in
the punishment of crimes whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted.
This prohibition was to have applied
to all new states from the Gulf of Mex
leo to British America. This proviso
was voted on April I. New Hamp-
shire. Massachusetts, Rhode Island.
New York and Pennsylvania voted for
it. Maryland, Virginia and South Car
Gina voted against it. North Carolina
was divided and New Jersey, Della
ware and Georgia were unrepreseDted.
Not having seven states in favor the
proyiSO was lost. 1t was argued by
those who opposed the proviso that Il

OOWHLDLNG.

The cowhiding of d. r. Anthony, ed |
itor of the Leavenworth Times, on
Wednesday last, while undoubtedly a /
cowardly act, was, nevertheless, an act /
which Anthony has seemingly courted
by every means in his power. He has
used his position as editor to abuse and
malign many of the best citizens of
Leavenworth in an outrageous manner;
so much so that ne has at the present
time no less than three or four libel
suits on his hands for abusing his fell
low-citizens through the columns of his
paper. Not only has he used the col
umns of his paper to abuse people, but
he has utilized his position as agent
of the associated press to
further his own ends and puff his pa
per, in all cases giving such one-sided
accounts of what has occurred, in
which he or his paper were interested,
as to show on their face that the state
ments were written by person strong
/ ly prejudiced. His sudden flop over to
the side of prohibition and temperance
s no excuse for his unwarranted abuse
of people with whom he used to affiliate
and sympathize, and of whom he can
now say nothing too mean and con-
temptible, simply because they have
not changed their minds as regards
politics or or prohibition at his COM
mand.
A special from Leavenworth says:
For several months Anthony has been
oh, E.Su
/ Bond and a number of other citizens,
| applying epithets to them of which even
a common blackguard would be
ashamed. This TRADE was kept up
from day to day, and apparently with
out any cause. Last Saturday he spoke
of Mr.. Bond as follows: Gin fact he is
a double-distilled scoundrel. He is a
days; snake which we warmed into
life. He is one of the ingrates to be
despised because he is coarse, brutal
and cowardly. This paper simply stated
fact about him, hence the indorse-
ment of him by Neely's paper. We
don't banker after skunks."
When it is understood that Mr.. Bond
is not newspaper man, and has no re-
course against these attacks by An
thOny, it certainly is some justification
for his resort to a cowhide, even if An
thony be an older man than his assail-
ant. Had Mr.. Anthony confined him
self simply to statement of facts, and
only shown Mr.. Bond in the light of
his own acts as an alderman, then
would he have been within the lines of
duty as newspaper publisher. But
when he allows himself to indulge in
such pet names as ''dog," skunk, %
etc., he deserves just what he got, a
good thrashing.
